(By Kelly Mcdonald Jr) The Feast of Trumpets began this Wednesday at sunset. It goes by various names in Hebrew: Yom Teruah (day of the trumpet blast), Zikron Teruah (a memorial for blowing the trumpets) and Rosh Hoshannah (Head of the Year). It is celebrated on the first day of the Hebrew month called Tishri. It is considered the beginning of the civil year and begins the Ten Days of Awe. On the Feast of Trumpets, the Jewish people believe that God will write your name in one of three books: the book of life, the book of the wicked, or the book of the intermediate. This is why there is such a heavy emphasis on
repentance during the season of Teshuvah. This day also has tremendous prophetic implications. In the future, a seven-year period called the 70th week of Daniel will take place. It will commence the most chaotic time ever known on planet Earth. There will be wars between many nations, famine will be rife, pestilence will spread like never before and humanity will be in total desperation. God’s wrath will be poured out. Billions of people will perish in the process. As we approach the end of this seven-year period, the remnants of the nations will march on Jerusalem to destroy God’s people. READ MORE
This day has zero prophetic implications because the coming of the Lord (Messiah and God) ended the role of Israel as chosen people and began a new era which 2Cor 5:17 calls it, “a new creation).
Since there is not one single promise for Israel in the NT, except judgment from the lips of Jesus Himself (Mat 23 is just one example), nor are they called “chosen people” anymore, there is no reason to believe that modern Israel has anything to do with future prophetic utterances because the King has come, the King has dealt the sin of Adam at the cross, the King rose from the dead and the King ascended to the throne of heaven.
Israel is nothing but an illusion and a deception. We should recognize that all are who belong to Christ are Abraham’s seed (Gal 3:29) according to the promise made to the fathers.
Let’s be real for once and adhere to what the Lord has done at the cross and forget this immoral, secular and ungodly people that wants nothing to with the King of glory.
Two thousand years have passed, therefore there is enough time for the Jews to come to Christ. Those who have entered into life, but those who didn’t were lost forever. Nothing has changed and nothing will.

Actually, it was Thursday!
